		At the 8th rokon (party worker) conference of the Jamaat-e-Islami, some frontline leaders from both parties voiced in unison that the BNP and the Jamaat belonged to the same family.
		It sounds bizarre that a party claiming to be nationalist finds no difficulty to forge fraternity with another party that has blood of the martyred and wounded freedom fighters during the country’s 1971 liberation war and intellectuals on its hands.
		The fact that Bangladesh is yet to see the face of democracy goes to negate the opinion of those who claimed to have established democracy.

		Interest in the ongoing dialogue even among the "letter-head" parties seems to be waning, which is evident from the fact that only one third of the invited parties attended yesterday’s meeting.
		The Jatiya Party (Ershad), which attended yesterday’s meeting was resentful of the fact that they had been invited along with minor parties although JP was one of the mainstream political parties of the country.
		The little known "letter head" only parties which were present at yesterday’s meeting also appeared to be nonchalant and their contribution was of little interest to the overall election process.

		Bangladesh has seen long military dictatorships; absurd socialist totalitarianism; highly corrupt and authoritarian bureaucratic economic planning; vigorous lending, leadership and guidance by the IMF, the World Bank, the academically rich consultants and the affluent donor country governments; but none of these could bring any positive result other than aggravating our economic despair, damage and destruction.
		Bangladesh continues to hear consistent promises made by politicians, and sermons and preaching by leading academics for a greater and a larger role of the state, and through its benevolent arm, the government, to deliver the fruits of their dictated economic plans at the doorstep of every citizen.
		Bangladesh can be a true liberal democratic country if the same is practiced within all political parties contesting elections as mandated in the Constitution.

	Bangladesh: Human rights defenders under attack - Amnesty International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		Most political parties in Bangladesh consider themselves to be secularist, but governments have in one form or another also sought to appease religious parties, usually to obtain a stronger majority in parliament – a move that could allow religious based politics to inform government policies.
		Other serious threats to the liberal space are gangs acting under the banner of Maoist groups in south-western Bangladesh, which, as the reports in various sections indicate, have frequently attacked journalists revealing the link between them and organized crime, and have publicly taken responsibility for it.
		Governments in Bangladesh have persistently failed to respond adequately to the need to protect individuals at risk, investigate the violations committed against them, bring to justice perpetrators of human rights violations, and ensure the protection of witnesses, the victims and their family members or to provide reparation to the victims.

		This became more obvious after the Bangladesh National Party (BNP) came to power in 2001 through an alliance with the Jamaat-e-Islami (JEI), a mainstream political party that maintains strong ideological ties with a party bearing the same name in Pakistan and that is sympathetic to Al Qaida and the deposed Taliban in Afghanistan.
		The JEI and other Islamic parties have employed their partnership with BNP and position in the ruling coalition government to actively support and give shelter to Muslim extremist groups and individuals, including those who entered Bangladesh illegally from Arab and Asian countries.
		What is needed is a sincere effort by Zia to end the ongoing meaningless hostility between her and Hasina and to form a national unity government comprising the country’s two main parties, the BNP and AL.

		He’s simply asking liberals to muster some energy for the ideological fight against jihadism, in the belief that they are more likely to succeed than the Republican Party of George W. Bush, and in the related belief that they will never be entrusted with power until they do.
		The real failure of the Democratic Party since September 11th is not appeasement or softness, as Karl Rove and, formerly, Peter Beinart have claimed, but intellectual shirking, a chronic urge to change the subject from the unpleasant realities of the age of jihad.
		Critics of liberal internationalism—and their numbers are growing—see it as the ideological twin of Bush’s neoconservatism, just as grandiose and aggressive, all the more thoroughly swaddled in moral self-love and always ending in some disastrous crusade.
